Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of hydroprocessing, and more particularly relates to a process directed to fuels hydrocracking and distillate feed hydrofining. This process has at least two stages. A relatively unconverted hydrofined product may be removed prior to the second stage, providing flexibility. In another embodiment, fresh feed may be added prior to the second stage. In both embodiments, fuels production is maintained at a constant level.
